I’m looking for a different amp and will likely get a modded VTA ST Dynaco 70 with tweaked parts that a friend is suggesting. The original Dynaco chassis design has the inputs on the front and a hard-wired power cord. I’m not keen on that and am thinking about using a different chassis that would at least allow room for an iec.

I’d appreciate suggestions regarding vendors who offer custom chassis options

This Dynaco was made right.
An IEC power socket is a Low Fi idea tô take money from the audiophools, it add various connections tô the signal creating losses,
the best amp already made FM Acoustics never used IEC socket but a integral cord.

Stranded wire for áudio or power are the second best solution, Hard wiring are better than stranded.

I have used the AVA Ultravalve for 11 years as my main amp.  If your looking for a ST-70 style tube amp you won't do better than the Ultravalve.

I have the Fritz Carrera 7 BE. I recently spoke with Frank as a couple of guys whose opinions I value recommended the AVA SET 120 or 400. He also recommended his SET Amps for the Fritzes and didn’t mention the Ultravalve (which is currently sold out).
